Purple Netbook unleashed - Page 9

Malinda,

Dell Mini 9 has 16GB SSD (solid-state drive) not SSDR. It can replace 160 or 320GB HHD 2.5 (laptop hard drive size is 2.5). My friend did replace 160GB last week and it works very well.

Thank you for sharing this information. I was told from Dell tech support chat online that my dell inspiron 910 has SSDR not SSD but I agreed with you I have been research a lot about this Dell inspiron 910 most said SSD not SSDR, smile.
I am amazed that you said can replace SSD to HDD. I opened my netbook, I see SSD it is so small size . I can not believe how to replace tiny SSD to 2.5 HDD. Hmmm. How to fit 2.5 HDD into dell inspiron 910? Can you please explain me how this can be done?

Have you try and it work on Dell insprion 910?

Then you are out of luck for replace but you can use external HDD thru USB.

Good question how to fit it. My friend told me that Dell tech can replace SDD to HDD.

Dell Inspiron 910 mini-laptop to be a hardware hacker's dream? ? Register Hardware

Odd.

Dev · 07-23-2009, 05:43 PM

camijerosa,

You're right.

Let me to ask my friend again. I don't think HHD 2.5 fit for Inspiron 910.

You can buy a real netbook for 350 dollars from Dell.com and just download P3, and you just save yourself 50 bucks.

I hate when they won't say any specs because if we knew, we wouldnt buy it.

So, don't buy it. Plus, I dont like P3, I know it is in BEta but it gave me 2 times - BSOD.. my following specs are Core 2 Duo 3.7 Ghz, 4 GB, Vista Business, HD radeon 4850.

I agree 100%.

jasin · 07-23-2009, 09:19 PM

32gb is not a lot of space. You put your browser, os, pictures, word processor, etc.. on it and its going to be pretty filled up.

Silly man, 32 GB is PLENTY for basic computer usage.

Chevy57 · 07-23-2009, 09:30 PM

Yes. I had worked for Purple. I unfavor P3 netbook as Dell Mine 9. I had purchased own ASUS 1005HAB netbook which includes 160 GB HDD. It costs $299.00 from best buy. it s better quailty than P3 netbook. But I must work to help customers how to set up P3 netbooks.

jasin · 07-23-2009, 09:31 PM

My girlfriend was going to get this netbook. I told her its a rip off; low memory, small hard drive .. wont be storing a lot, no gaming, screen is to small for her graphic art stuff, etc.

Yeah, if you are not gaming, doing graphics stuff, office work, or storing lots of music and pictures. And all that leaves you with is some very limited internet surfing.

The Highlander · 07-23-2009, 10:31 PM

$300 is not rip off. It's perfect for travel and very simple.

camijerosa · 07-24-2009, 08:14 AM

I got my Purple netbook for just $199 dollar no sale tax and shipping cost.
I am member of Hands of VRS Purple.
To get this discount $199; Will need to apply to join Hands of VRS Purple in order to get this discount price $199.

I do not see any other netbook that low price as Hands of VRS Purple has offer $199.
Do you?
I am using this purple netbook for travel purpose only. My other laptop is big and heavy to carry. This Purple netbook is very light and I can put in my purse.

A netbook is a laptop computer for wireless communication and access to the Internet. They are Primarily designed for web browsing and e-mailing.

I know what a netbook is. I resent the fact that'd you insult my intelligence suggesting I do not, too.

Netbook isn't for games.

thechaostheory · 07-26-2009, 01:51 PM

To be honest with you guys, Purple Netbook is a rip off product. You could buy a much cheaper with better specs than what Purple Netbook has. Basically, it is just a netbook and they preloaded P3 for you which you can easily download the installer and install it yourself on your netbook. Like I could buy 199 dollars with much better processor, hard drive, ram and just install P3. Pfft.

dkf747 · 07-27-2009, 09:15 PM

Interesting. When I went to the Purple Store and started to put in my cart, it priced out as $99, not $199! That's very tempting, but I didn't buy it yet.

but limited offer until August 31.

LDNanna · 07-28-2009, 01:56 AM

I think if you want bigger go get. This is primarily for vrs. It is an mvp.

This is a good product at a good price and not meant to replace your bigger computer. I wish I had the opportunity to get one for 99.00 but 199. is a very good price. You can get cheaper on ebay, but who knows what that is?? I don't know that seller. We all know Nathan and Chevy. This is my opinion. I am not a techie, but an old lady who can surely find a bargain. I know many young students at our college who have these. They are very good little systems. Great for school, travel, and duh - mvp! ha! (granny says!)
I also was able to get the p3 software and have had no bsod. In fact, I really like it very much.
I hope you will all add me. I am very pleased to be here, be deaf and have nice folks tell me about good products at a good price.

Thank you Nathan and also Chevy.
